Thread: Irrigation systems

Hi what ideas for filter waste water irrigation systems have any of you used ?

I have found out you can get 10% discount of your water bill if you do that and also good for the plants and save water win win

Ok thanks I want to water my plants with it

I have a 1000 litre water butt sump buried next to my filters. Inside it is a sump pump with a float switch, which is sent to pipework to a series of smaller pipes with valves to direct the waste around the garden. It was difficult to dig it out because i had a broken arm at the time. I also laid a concrete pad for the sump to sit on since 1000 litres literally weighs a ton. Although it's very rarely more than a few inches full. So perhaps 1000 litres was overkill. Make sure (if you choose that option) you put a cover on it or you may end up with frogs in there.

Hi Andre thanks. What size tank do you think I would need and what type of pipework did you use ?
